                               Independent Auditors' Report


The Plan Administrator and Participants
USAir Inc. Employee Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan benefits of the
USAir, Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) as of October 31, 1993, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the ten-month period then
ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.  Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of October 31, 1993, and
the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the ten-month period then ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken
as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes as of
October 31, 1993 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                                     October 31, 1993

(1)   Description of Plan

      The following brief description of the USAir, Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the Plan)
      is provided for general information purposes only.  Participants should refer to the
      Plan document for more complete information.

      (a)   General

            The Plan is a defined contribution plan intended to be a qualified cash or
            deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, as
            amended (the Code) and to qualify under Section 401(a).  The Plan was
            established on January 1, 1993 for all non-contract employees of USAir, Inc.
            (USAir or the Company).   All salaried and certain union employees who are
            at least 18 years of age and have completed 90 days of service, except for
            those individuals not covered by the United States income tax laws, are
            eligible to participate in the Plan.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
            Employee Retirement Income Act of 1974 (ERISA).

      (b)   Plan Contributions

            USAir employees electing to participate in the Plan make contributions to the
            Plan via payroll deductions.  The amount of contribution that may be made
            by a participant to the Plan shall be a whole percentage of not less than one
            percent nor more than 13 percent of a participant's compensation.  Compen-
            sation includes base pay, overtime, bonuses, shift premiums and shift
            differentials, up to the 401(a)(17).  Contributions for 1993 can not exceed the
            statutory limit of $8,994.

            The Company will make a matching contribution to the Plan in an amount
            equal to 50% of a participants contribution up to a limit of two percent of
            his/her compensation.

            The Company will also make a profit-sharing contribution to the Plan on
            behalf of each participant in an amount equal to a certain percentage based
            on the profit margin of USAir Group, Inc.  No profit-sharing contributions
            were made during the ten-month period ended October 31, 1993.

                               Notes to Financial Statements
                               -----------------------------
                                        (Continued)

      (c)   Vesting

            Employer contributions are 100% vested after the participant has completed
            two years of service; all other contributions are fully vested at all times.

      (d)   Investment Options

            The Company selects the number and type of investment options available.
            The investment options are held and administered as separate, common funds
            by Fidelity Investments.

            Each participant elects the percentage, in increments of 5 percent, in which
            his/her account balance is invested in the various investment funds.  The
            participant may transfer his/her investments from one investment fund to
            another investment fund. 

            A separate account is established and maintained in the name of each
            participant and reflects the participant's contributions invested in, and the
            earnings and losses attributed to, each investment fund less certain investment
            related administrative expenses.  Participants are allocated a share of each
            fund's net investment earnings based upon their account balance as a
            percentage of the total fund balance.  Net investment earnings are allocated
            to participants.  

      (e)   Loans and Hardship Withdrawals

            All participants can borrow from their account but may have only one loan
            outstanding at a given point in time.  Loans are to be repaid, with interest,
            within five years unless the loan is used by the participant to acquire a
            principal residence.  Loans are limited to the lesser of $50,000 (reduced by
            outstanding loan balances from any other plan maintained by the Company)
            or 50 percent of the participant's separate account balance as of the date of
            the loan.

            Upon approval from the Company, a participant may withdraw his or her
            contributions from the account if it is determined that the withdrawal is
            necessary to meet an immediate and heavy financial need of the participant
            under the deemed hardship standards set forth in the Code.

                                        (Continued)

      (f)   Distributions

            Distribution to a participant or beneficiary is made as soon as reasonably
            practicable after the participant's separation from service with the Company
            due to death, retirement, or other termination of employment.  The
            distribution can be deferred or provided in cash as a lump sum distribution.
            If the balance due to the participant or beneficiary is less than $3,500, a lump
            sum distribution is automatic upon separation.

      (g)   Forfeitures

            Forfeitures of terminated participants' non-vested accounts are applied against
            future employer contributions.

      (h)   Administrative Expenses

            Substantially all of the administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by USAir,
            Inc.

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      (a)   Basis of Presentation

            The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an accrual
            basis and present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in
            those net assets.

      (b)   Master Trust

            The assets of the Plan are maintained in a master trust with the assets of
            other defined contribution plans sponsored by USAir, Inc.  The trustee,
            Fidelity Management Trust Company, maintains the master trust under the
            terms of an agreement with the Plan.  The Plan's share of assets and changes
            in its share of the master trust have been reported to the Plan by the trustee
            as having been determined through the use of fair values of all assets.  Fair
            values for assets were determined by quoted market values, when available.

                               Notes to Financial Statements

(4)   Concentration of Credit Risk

      The Plan's beneficial interest in the master trust includes certain investments in
      guaranteed investment contracts (GICs).  The issuers of the GICs are all insurance
      companies.  The Plan's ultimate realization of amounts invested in GICs is
      dependent on the continued financial stability of the insurance companies that are
      issuers of the GICs.  The Plan's beneficial interest in amounts invested in GICs is
      $9,964,810 at October 31, 1993.

(5)   Transfer from the 401(k) Plan

      The Company also sponsors the USAir, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the 401(k) Plan).
      Prior to 1993, all employees were eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan.  Effective
      January 1, 1993, the balances of all non-contract employees previously participating
      in the 401(k) Plan were transferred into the Plan, including loans receivable.

(6)   Federal Tax Status

      Although the Plan has not requested a letter of determination from the Internal
      Revenue Service as to its qualification, the Company and its general counsel believe
      the Plan meets the requirement of Section 401(a) of the Code and is therefore
      believed to be exempt from federal income taxes.

(7)   Plan Termination

      The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time.  Upon
      termination of the Plan, the following actions shall be taken for the benefit of
      participants:

      (a)   As of the termination date, each investment fund shall be valued.  In
            determining the net worth of the investment funds there shall be included as
            a liability such amounts as shall be necessary to pay all expenses in connection
            with the termination of the investment funds and the liquidation and
            distribution of the property of the funds, as well as other expenses, whether
            or not accrued, and shall include as an asset all accrued income.

      (b)   All participant accounts shall then be disposed of, to, or for each participant
            in single lump-sum payments.
